I like the netflix interface on the 360 better too, but I still use the PS3 for netflix. The reason is that it has better bandwidth detection and seems to have stabler buffering. Sometimes when using the xbox nexflix app, it arbitrarily reduces my streaming quality on HD streams -- I'll be watching and they'll be a blip in my bandwidth and the xbox stops and reloads the stream at a lower quality. I never notice such interruptions when watching on the PS3. If it does reduce quality -- which it almost never has to -- it happens seamlessly without stopping and reloading.
